Thunder hit rare air with another 64‑win season

Oklahoma City sealed a 128–110 win over the Clippers to reach 64 victories and secure the NBA’s best record for the second straight year, a milestone previously achieved only by the mid‑90s Bulls and the mid‑2010s Warriors. The Thunder dominated from the opening tip, reinforcing their status as a fully formed contender heading into the postseason.

Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander continues to drive the group with MVP‑level command, while Chet Holmgren’s growth and Jalen Williams’ versatility elevate a roster defined by depth, balance and collective maturity. The road ahead is demanding: Wembanyama’s Spurs are rising fast, Denver remains anchored by three‑time MVP Nikola Jokic, and the Eastern Conference features both the resurgent Pistons and a Celtics team capable of exploding once Jayson Tatum returns. Upsets will come, but OKC’s blend of continuity, talent and proven winning habits keeps them firmly in the title race.
